Independence Day

Hello, and thanks for stopping by my blog

A very happy 4th of July to those in the 
US who celebrate!

Today I am wearing an outfit that is perfect
 for the summer holiday weekend,
in patriotic red, white and blue
Well, perfect so long as there is nothing
 really sloppy is on the menu
 Then I would suggest a very large napkin
 for your lap while eating!

Gingham is a print that loudly proclaims it is summer, 
so I chose this royal blue and white oversize check blouse
 worn over a white camisole top for the day 
I paired it with my white inverted pleat denim skirt
You might recognize the blouse
I have worn it on the blog before,
in a post from May last year, titled "Bright Blue in the Mix"
 That wear was over a royal blue flared dress
Bright blue is always in my mix, whether it is trending or not!
The skirt might look familiar too,
as I wore it on the blog in one of my outfits just last week
It is by Burberry and is a classic that has been in
my wardrobe for quite a few years
I always look forward to seeing it
 when I switch from my winter to summer clothes,
I never get tired of it, it can be worn so many ways





This little bag seems to be made for a patriotic summer holiday, as the flap is star studded
 and the channel quilting is in a striped pattern
 

Must add some red 🙂 so for jewelry,I wore my vintage 1950s
 red cuff bracelet and red enamel anchor pieces
A necklace and post stud earrings
It looks like they could be a set,
 but they were brought a year apart


Playful shoes for a fun day-
  wearing my white lace wedge sneakers


Roger's in the house!
 Wearing a red polo shirt and classic dark wash Levi's, 
 black sneakers with red laces


Independence Day 2019-

a little all American tie-dye and denim!


Some picnic fruit from the farmer's market-
fresh local produce is one of the best things about summer!



Red spider mum-looks like floral fireworks!



Hope everyone has a great holiday,
and those in other countries, a great week ahead!

  1. That second look is right up my alley! Love the fun tie dye and the espadrilles! I have been wearing red white and blue since Sunday, usually the third color being just an accent. It's fun to see what outfit I can come up with!

  3. I love the white skirt - there is something about an inverted pleat that really appeals to me. This is a really cute look for July 4 or any summer day!

  4. Is that spider thing a flower?? Never seen such before. Anyway, I agree on gingham. I love it, but never see myself buying something gingham, that's weird! Happy holiday weekend!

  5. How fresh and jaunty the gingham looks with the Burberry skirt! And the tie dye is a fun casual look. Hope you had fun and no mishaps with food!
